  • Manorhamilton is on the National Primary Route, N16, about half-way between Sligo, County Sligo and Enniskillen, County Fermanagh (which is in Northern Ireland). Don't be fooled by the designation of the N16 as a National Primary Route, much of the road is narrow and twisty, so care is needed when driving. It is worth the effort, though.
  • Bus Eireann serves Manorhamilton each way to and from Sligo 4 times a day, the journey takes about 35 minutes.

[edit] Get around

Manorhamilton is quite small, and easily manageable on foot. However to discover much of the surrounding countryside a car or bike is required.

  • Glencar Waterfall, Glencar, County Leitrim (take the N16 road south from Manorhamilton in the direction of Sligo, watch for signs to the right to Glencar, approximately 8 kilometres (5 miles) from Manorhamilton). Beautiful waterfall in a small narrow glen, immortalised by the poet W.B. Yeats in his poem, The Stolen Child: Where the wandering water gushes/From the hills above Glencar,/In pools among the rushes/That scarce could bathe a star. Free.  edit
